The
movie
theatre
is completely
dark.
All
around
you
fellow
patrons
are
decked
out
in their
Halloween
best
(or,
more
accurately,
worst)
and
on screen
the
cult
classic
film
from
1922,
Nosferatu
begins.

Then
the
music
starts
—
not
from
the
soundtrack
as we've
become
accustomed
to,
but
provided
by the
band
Terminatryx
(&
collaborating
musicians).
Like
the
movie,
the
band
is mainly
known
to those
who
hang
out
in darker
spots.
Maybe
because
of this
fact,
there
is a
special
bond
between
the
film
and
the
music.
Both
dark.
Both
disturbing.
And
both
outwardly
frightening,
but
immensely
artistic
once
you
look
beyond
the
obvious.
And
not
as scary.

The
following
year
(2007),
at the
same
festival,
The
Cabinet
of Dr
Caligary
was
screened.
It was
equally
moving.
This
experience
won't
appeal
to those
who
go to
the
cinema
to switch
off.
No,
here
you
are
confronted
with
a picture
from
a previous
age
that
fuses,
live,
with
music
from
the
present
one.
This
union,
depending
on the
artists
involved,
could
be a
magical
one
–
elevating
both
the
film
and
the
music
to levels
not
experienced
where
a filmmaker
is involved,
puppeteering
your
emotions
through
the
subtle
use
of music.
